Layout



Local newspapers and national newspapers alike have a similar layouts as far as the banner and the title goes. However as I have mentioned in my previous post in most local newspapers there are advertisements in the corners either side of the title which are there in order to raise funds for the newspaper I feel I will have to conform with this use of advertisement as it would be crucial for the newspapers survival if I were to actually produce it. This point is backed up by the photographs I have posted of some of the local newspapers from across the country. Another ploy for sales of local newspapers which is also common in the national newspapers but predominantly at weekends is to add prize draws, competitions, free gifts and information on inserts in order to entice the prospective buyer into purchasing the paper.

  1. useful to fully reserach mastheads particularly for local newspapers. Also the typeface used will say much about the intended audience.
